Anyone have ideas for using Nut butters like...

[woodie]

Cashew butter and Almond butter? I just bought some and they are AWESOME but I now I don't know what to do with them! I still like peanut butter, so I don't really want to give that up. Any recipes?

Thanks!

I add 1tab almond butter to a smoothie mixed with 1 bannana, 1 sc. chocolate whey protein powder, 1 tab. flaxseed, 1/2 cup soy milk. yum

 

[woodie]

Do the protein and whey have any taste?

 

[dmd]

I use Designer whey Protein powder in both vanilla and chocolate. They aren't too bad at all. deb

Hi Lisa,

I like to have a tablespoon on my Kashi waffle or have it on apple slices in the mornings. I LOVE almond butter!

Do these butters have about the same protein content as peanut butter? I always want to try them too. How is a cashew butter and jelly sandwich?

Hi Woodie,

This probably isn't the suggestion your looking for, but DH likes to mix chocolate chips into the container of cashew butter and eat it by the spoonful. }( }(

I like the idea of spreading it on the Kashi waffles or maybe some buckwheat pancakes.

Almond butter is terrific on steamed green beans.

I just bought some cashew butter last week, but didn't really look at the protein content. It is YUMMY, though, and I'll bet would be great with jelly in a sandwich!!!

I've seen recipes using ground cashews (cashew butter would work even better) in a gravy-type recipe.

Oh gosh, it's simple! Cook your green beans in whatever way you prefer (boil, microwave, vegetable steamer, oven-bake), and after they're cooked, while they are still hot, plop on some almond butter, and stir until it's melted. It's just like putting regular butter on hot veggies, really. I also like to add salt

Cheers!

No suggestions here but I kept reading NUTTER BUTTERS and now that's all I can think about

I bought some Almond butter today, and after one bite I regretted the purchase. (I wonder how many calories are in a jar?)

I really like almond butter on celery. Don't have any fancy recipes though

Thank you, Sandra! I will try it soon:9 deb
